As for work I have mainly looked after Children as a Nanny or Worked in Youth Work over the years. I have also worked in hospitality on and off whilst traveling and studying. I worked in banking for a year, however it wasn't for me and that was when I decided to study and get into Youth work. I love arts and crafts and that was why I originally studied Graphic Design.

"Felicity has been looking after my 3 year old son since the middle of October for 4 days per week. My son adores her! She is easy-going, imaginative and fun. Felicity has a broad range of skills and experience with children of all ages and I trust her implicitly to handle any situation that my toddler might present to her. She has proven herself to be reliable and resourceful and I would highly recommend her to agencies and parents. "
